Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A multilayer film comprising a polypropylene layer and at least one heat sealable layer comprising polyethylene or an ethylene copolymer containing at least 4% by weight of ethylene, the heat sealable layer containing an additive combination comprising: (1) from 0.3 to 1% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of a long-chain aliphatic amine; (2) from 0.1 to 0.7% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of dispersed thermoplastic polymer which is incompatible with the polyethylene or ethylene copolymer and which has a softening range which is not more than either 50° C. below or 50° C. above the softening point of the polyethylene or ethylene copolymer; and (3) from 0.3 to 0.8% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of a polydialkyl siloxane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A multilayer film comprising a polypropylene layer and at least one heat sealable layer comprising polyethylene or an ethylene copolymer containing at least 4% by weight of ethylene, the heat sealable layer containing an additive combination comprising: (1) from 0.3 to 1% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of a long-chain aliphatic amine; (2) from 0.1 to 0.7% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of dispersed thermoplastic polymer which is incompatible with the polyethylene or ethylene copolymer and which has a softening range which is not more than either 50° C. below or 50° C. above the softening point of the polyethylene or ethylene copolymer; and (3) from 0.3 to 0.8% by weight, based on the sealable layer, of a polydialkyl siloxane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
